So? were we supposed to have an internet apocalypse or something?

I upgraded to a couple of months after many of our clients started to upgrade to IPv6 pending the shortage of IP addresses. So, I'm running IPv6 (Hurricane Electric)... and it works... and I can access websites on IPv6 which is great... but I thought that I was supposed to see the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse running around the internet or something.

Whatever Happened To the IPv4 Address Crisis?

alphadogg writes "In February 2011, the global Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) allocated the last blocks of IPv4 address space to the five regional Internet registries. At the time, experts warned that within months all available IPv4 addresses in the world would be distributed to ISPs. Soon after that, unless everyone upgraded to IPv6, the world would be facing a crisis that would hamper Internet connectivity for everyone. That crisis would be exacerbated by the skyrocketing demand for IP addresses due to a variety of factors: the Internet of Things (refrigerators needing their own IP address); wearables (watches and glasses demanding connectivity); BYOD (the explosion of mobile devices allowed to connect to the corporate network); and the increase in smartphone use in developing countries. So, here we are three years later and the American Registry for Internet Numbers is still doling out IPv4 addresses in the United States and Canada. Whatever happened to the IPv4 address crisis?"

The ten commandments of Beltran Russel

The Ten Commandments that, as a #teacher, I should wish to promulgate, might be set forth as follows:

• Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
  
• Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the evidence is sure to come to light.
  
• Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
  
• When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband or your children, endeavour to overcome it by argument and not by authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
  
• Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always contrary authorities to be found.
  
• Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you do the opinions will suppress you.
  
• Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.
  
• Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent that in passive agreement, for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper agreement than the latter.
  
• Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
  
• Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool's paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness.

-Bertrand Russell "A Liberal Decalogue", from "The Best Answer to Fanaticism: Liberalism", New York Times Magazine (16/December/1951); later printed in The Autobiography of Bertrand Russell (1969), vol. 3: 1944-1967, pp. 71-2.

Los diez mandamientos de Beltran Russel

Los diez mandiamientos que, como un maestro, me gustaría promover, estos son los siguientes:

• No estés absolutamente seguro de nada.
  
• No creas conveniente actuar ocultando pruebas, pues las pruebas terminan por salir a la luz.
  
• Nunca intentes oponerte al raciocino, pues seguramente lo conseguirás.
  
• Cuando encuentres oposición, aunque provenga de tu esposo o de tus hijos, trata de superarla por medio de la razón y no de la autoridad, pues una victoria que dependa de la autoridad es irreal e ilusoria.
  
• No respetes la autoridad de los demás, pues siempre se encuentran autoridades enfrentadas.
  
• No utilices la fuerza para suprimir las ideas que crees perniciosas, pues si lo haces, ellas te suprimirán a ti.
  
• No temas ser extravagante en tus ideas, pues todas la ideas ahora aceptadas fueron en su día extravagantes.
  
• Disfruta más con la discrepancia inteligente que con la conformidad pasiva, pues si valoras la inteligencia como debieras, aquélla significa un acuerdo más profundo que ésta.
  
• Muéstrate escrupuloso en la verdad, aunque la verdad sea incómoda, pues más incómoda es cuando tratas de ocultarla.
  
• No sientas envidia de la felicidad de los que viven en el paraíso de los necios, pues sólo un necio pensará que eso es la felicidad.

La dek mandatoj el Beltran Russel

La dek mandatojn kiun, kiel instruisto, mi volus disvastigi, tiu mandatoj estas la venonta:

• Ne sentu mem komplete certa pri ĉiu.
  
• Ne pensu kiu estas konvena agi dum kaŝi indikaĵon ĉar la indikaĵo estos certe scii por ĉiu.
  
• Neniam klopodas malkuraĝigi penso ĉar vi sukcesos.
  
• Kiam vi trovas opozicio, eĉ se ĝi venas el via edzo aŭ via filoj, penos venki la opozicio per bona argumento kaj ne per rega argumento, ĉar la venko kiu alvenis kun rega argumento estas malreala kaj iluzia.
  
• Ne respektu regon de alia persono, ĉar vi ĉiam trovos regon kun kontraŭ penso.
  
• Ne uzu forto por subpremi opiniojn ke vi pensas esti damaĝiĝa, ĉar se vi faras tion, tiu opinio subpremos vin.
  
• Ne timu esti bizara kun opinio, ĉar ĉiu opinio kiu estas akceptita nun estis bizara.
  
• Trovu plezuro en inteligenta kontraŭa penso ol pasiva kongrua penso, por se vi valoras inteligento, kiel vi devas, la unua implicas profunda kongruecon ol la dua.
  
• Estu preciza praveco, eĉ si la pravo estas malkonvena, ĉar ĝi estas pli malkonvena kiam vi klopodas kaŝi ĝi.
  
• Ne sentu ĵaluzo de la feliĉeco el tiun kiu vivas en malspritula edeno, ĉar nur la malspritula pensas kiu estas feliĉeco.
